Which manufacturers are good about updating their phones?
This is complicated because in many countries apparently, phones are
branded and gets crap-ware added by the carrier because they have
ambitions of being more than just an infrastructure. Google tried to
change that with their new sales model, but carriers obviously
succeeded in lobbying for this distribution model to be discontinued.
Ok, but I think that Google should impose at least a transparency
policy. Manufacturers should state clearly which are their update
policy. For me it is ok even if they won't ever update a phone, if this
is clear at the moment in which I'm buying it; or they could say "we
will only guarantee updates for one year, or for one major version". On
the other hand, the strategy of continuously announcing and postponing
updates is fraudulent, because gives you a false impression upon which
you might choose a buy.
